    I know I should know this since it's played at every home game but what's that instrumental rock piece they play in the build up to kick off?

    Is that Nigel Pepper in your avatar? I can only make out the neck down? Imagine him lining up next to Smallwood in the centre! What an absolute legend. My favourite player in the pre Premier league era.

    You'll enjoy this piece of text from wiki then;

    In a match against Celtic in March 1999, Pepper was sent off for a wild tackle six minutes after coming on as a substitute; following his return from suspension, having come on as a substitute against Dundee United, it took just 17 seconds before he was sent off again.[6]

    Legend!

    I seem to remember pepper braking his leg in a tackle and getting the red card as he was stretchered off.

    It's an Alan Parsons Project song from the late 70s. I'll look the title up tomorra.

    Looked it up... Sirius by Alan Parsons Project from 1982. They wrote some cracking tunes.

    Thanks for that.



    It's perfect for that pre match build up. Great piece of music and a really good piece of production by the match day team who could've just gone with something predictable. Love this piece.

    It was the Chicago Bulls teams walk out music when they dominated NBA in the 90’s, I believe Man City have also used it recently. I like it myself and used to listen to it now and again before we started using it. It’s good to use music to try gee the crowd up, anything to help the atmosphere is beneficial.

    Isn’t the intro far too long?

    I’ll have to listen at the next game, sometimes I’m talking or zone out just before the start. But I thought it was only around 45 seconds from memory?

    Maybe not a popular view but I'm not keen on either hi ho or Midland Road. I prefer the moody dramatic pieces pre game. Leave the jolly ones for the fans to belt out.

    It's about 2 minutes in total but you might be thinking it's around 45 seconds because it kind of builds up and then tails off a bit after that.

    I have to admit usually we're in conversation (zoned out) as you say @WilsdenBantam@WilsdenBantam, I can honestly say I've not noticed it but will take note on Thursday night :thumbup:.
